He looks away, out to the sea but I still keep my gaze trained on him.
I don’t know how to talk about New York without thinking about what will happen to us.This is week two of us being together and it’s amazing.I can’t see us being any other way than what we are.In fact, I can imagine us getting closer and closer.
“Are you looking forward to starting your new assignment?” I decide to ask.
He looks back at me, and there’s no mistaking the spark in his expression.He’s excited about starting.
“I most definitely am. I’m trying not to get too psyched up about it.”
“Why? You earned it.”
“I lose focus when I’m excited.Like when I’m with you.”
“Me?”
He cups my face, and his smile brightens.“As if you didn’t know Quinn Cambray.I–” his voice cuts as he looks up.When his expression hardens, I know something is wrong.
I follow his gaze and see a man with a hooded sweatshirt standing on the adjacent boardwalk.The instant I see him, my mind leaps back two weeks ago at the bar.
This guy is standing there watching us.
Watching us that is until we both turned to look at him, now he’s walking away.
“Quinn stay here,” Logan says and before I can say another word, he takes off down the path lightning fast.
I didn’t even know he could run that fast, and because the guy had a head start and was on the opposite side of us I didn’t think Logan would catch him.
However, when Logan gets to the end of the dock, he throws himself down on the guy just as he was about to make a break for it on the beach.
Both men fall to the ground and land in a heap of punches.
Thinking it safe, I run toward them.
“Fucking let me go!” The man wails and his voice sounds familiar.
That’s not good. It means I was right.
“Son of a bitch, you were watching us,” Logan yells, landing a fist in his face.As he does, the hood falls back and I see I was definitely right as Colton, Riley’s main lackey grabs his face.
Chapter 41
Logan
“One more time asshole,” I growl, grabbing the prick up in his neck.“What does Riley Langford want with Quinn?”
Ethan stands next to me, starring the prick down too.But this guy isn’t budging. Of course, he’s fucking not.Because I’m not the one he’s scared of.
Riley Langford has a bigger claim on this man, and right now he’s probably more worried I caught him.But not about what I’ll do to his ass if he doesn’t give me answers.
I called Ethan after Quinn confirmed who he was.When Ethan came, I sent Quinn home in a taxi, then Ethan and I hauled Colton’s ass down to my office.We chose to come here knowing if we took him to the station it would be a whole other ordeal.We’d have to book him and alert the powers that be.
Riley would know what happened to his little idiot, and I’m sure he’d get him out of our good care if that were to happen.
This way I also have the chance to knock his teeth down his throat and torture the answers out of him.
Right now, I’m just giving him the opportunity to talk.
All he’s doing though is looking ahead of him to the wall.
